I understand your point. Please note, I am also in software development for the past 12 years and I too have to listen to the feedback/complaints all the time. It is my experience that, in the long run we have succeeded only when we listened to the end users' feedback... No matter how many changes are done to the beta, the current SI - navigation, clear simple layout, color, fonts is excellent, which was developed as a result of years of feedback and excellent dedicated work from Dryer brothers... I, in my individual capacity, just don't like beta navigation, layout etc... All the new features can be added to the current SI, if Bryan wants to... DB

I access original SI at home and the new version at work. I'd rather be home.

"There are users that were here when the beta was initially rolled out, they were very vocal in their requirements" Yup - it was very productive feedback in the first 1,000 posts <g> Some of the more vocals wanted: less color, and more grey, and they got it. ability to turn off the boxes around their posts and got it (which I keep turned off) etc I sent my suggestions in to SI and they seemed to creap into the system. But I'm pleased with the basic redesign and am being patient as SI tweaks away. (I'm not sure why some people see Raging Bull as a better system?)
